It's Friday! (Letters & Fancies)

Dear Weekend... Until 3 days ago I thought you were going to be a 3 day long one.  What genius at my company is responsible for that screw up?? Ugh...

Dear Rain... I love that you arrived just in time for the split pea soup I made yesterday in the CrockPot!  But, you don't need to stay all weekend, OK? Thanks.

Dear Top Chef: Seattle... I haven't seen your premiere yet, but I should have time to watch you this weekend on the DVR.  I have enjoyed all of your previous incarnations so I assume I am going to love you.

Dear Readers/Followers... I've jumped up a bunch since being featured on a few blogs, and (I'm sure) due to my BRAVE giveaway.  Welcome to all the new people!  I'm happy to have you and hope you'll stick around for a long time.  :-)  (Also, hugs to all the "old" people, of course!  hehe)

Dear Boyfriend... Yes, I DO think it would be fun to go to one of these horse show extravaganzas we've been seeing on billboards around town lately.  And yes, it's kind of weird that I have never heard of these before and now there are TWO extremely similar shows in town this month.  But hey...it's a date! :-)  xoxoxo

And now, time for Friday's Fancies!  

This week's theme centers around bonfires, and what you would wear to one!

Alison had this to say about the theme:  I hope you'll join me by concocting your most beautiful bonfire look. One of my favorite fall traditions is spending an evening around the bonfire, eating s'mores and staying cozy.  I only wish we could all get together for a night of blogger fun and stories around a fire.

(I totally agree!  Blogger bonfire?  Count me in!)

Here's what I'm thinking, for a beach bonfire... 

because, for me, there really is no other kind of bonfire!  

We actually go down to Mission Bay pretty often for BBQ/bonfire/fireworks watching, but not as often this time of year.  It's all about layering!

As long as there are plenty of these...

I'll be just fine!  

Happy Friday, friends!!  

Enjoy your weekend, I know I will, even if it is only 2 days.  

Letters and Fancies, TGIF!!

Dear Work... I think next week I will be more motivated to give a crap.  Let's just get through today, enjoy this weekend apart and get started again Monday morning. 

Dear Gunney... You sure are a whiny dog!  You whine to come in and then sit here and whine in our faces.  It's getting kind of old. (You sure are a cute dog, too, though. And I know you are missing your pesky little sister, so I kind of forgive you. For now! P.S. Juliet will be here tonight.)

Dear Blogs I Am Sponsoring... Love you guys!  I am having a lot of fun with my intros and giveaways and getting to know you guys better.  

Dear  Amazing Race... You are my favorite show on TV right now.  Never change. 

Dear Boyfriend... I hope your mood improves or this could turn out to be a loooong weekend (and not in a good way).

And for Friday's Fancies... Halloween ideas!  I don't have a costume in mind and probably won't be dressing up this year.  The last time I wore a costume I was a Queen Bee. :-)  I had a gold dress, black tights that I spray painted gold strips on, and a springy antennae headband. 

So I found some "bumble bee inspired" items
and put this yellow toned, flowery look together.
Bees love flowers! 

I personally love the little yellow rose purse.  So cute!

What are YOU thinking for Halloween?  Dressing up?  Going out?  

Maybe if I had a party to go to I would be more creative and come up with something not bee related.  hehehe 

But, really, it was a cute outfit!  And I only had to buy the headband. :-)

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
